a hole thru the brush. On one of our Africa hunts I built a special 458 based on a Remington 700 action for Colleen with a 4X scope on it and built a 416 Remington on a Sako with a Leupold 1.5X4 for Kase and built a BRNO in 416 Rigby with a Leupold 1.5X4 Burris for myself but I think Kase shot it a lot more than I ever did. He had the hots for anything 416. I have built several short rifles for myself for Africa but they never ending up being shot in Africa. The only exception I can think of was a Ruger #1 in 470 Nitro that I used on monkeys.
The top gun is the BRNO in 416 Rigby and the bottom gun is Colleen's 458.

The next gun was a Browning BAR we built for Kase in 416 Taylor. He used it with iron sights.
